BELSIL DM 20 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane characterized by low surface tension and high spreading coefficient. As a silicone fluid, BELSIL DM 20 has a flexible polymer backbone providing high permeability to gases like water vapor and oxygen, allowing skin respiration. These properties make BELSIL DM 20 widely used in formulations where it imparts a hydrophobic, protective yet breathable barrier to distributed easily on the skin. BELSIL DM 20 reduces whitening and provides a soft emolliency, minimizing stickiness. As the most versatile personal care ingredient, BELSIL DM 20 is suitable for a variety of applications.
